10th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Computing systems including hardware, software, communication, and networks
are growing towards an ever-increasing scale and heterogeneity, becoming
overly complex. Such complexity is getting even more critical with the
ubiquitous permeation of embedded devices and other pervasive systems. To cope
with the growing and ubiquitous complexity, Autonomic Computing (AC) focuses
on self-manageable computing and communication systems that exhibit
self-awareness, self-configuration, self-optimization, self-healing,
self-protection and other self-x operations to the maximum extent possible
without human intervention or guidance. Organic Computing (OC) additionally
addresses adaptivity, robustness, and controlled emergence as well as
nature-inspired concepts for self-organization.

Any autonomic or organic system must be trustworthy to avoid the risk of
losing control and retain confidence that the system will not fail. Trust
and/or distrust relationships in the Internet and in pervasive infrastructures
are key factors to enable dynamic interaction and cooperation of various
users, systems, and services. Trusted/Trustworthy Computing (TC) aims at
making computing and communication systems as well as services available,
predictable, traceable, controllable, assessable, sustainable, dependable,
persistent, security/privacy protectable etc.

A series of grand challenges exists to achieve practical autonomic or organic
systems with truly trustworthy services. Started in 2005, the series of ATC
conferences has been held at Nagasaki, Vienna, Three Gorges (China), Hong
Kong, Oslo, Brisbane, Xian, Banff, and Fukuoka.

The conference will be a 2-day event featuring technical presentations
of 8 full papers and 9 short papers.

The 10th IEEE International Conference on Autonomic and Trusted Computing
(ATC 2013) will be held in Vietri sul Mare, Italy which will be organized
by Second University of Naples, Italy.

ATC 2013 is co-located with ICA3PP-2013 and UIC-2013.
